My Heart Hurts

Recent gaia cuts have removed some of the most core devs of Gaia

Including Pan and JK (cheif techical lead/engineer and Arts/games director)

And well as several in the social/games team

I dont mind potentially saying good bye to gaia games, but Pan and JK I have talked to many times in beta/open testing and playing of games. This is a real shock and really sad for me.

Do any of you guys have any thoughts on the recent layoffs? (for confirmation and more just check the GCD) or do you not really care/not really know who makes gaia run?

That is sad but I tend to not keep track of this kind of thing....

They have both pretty much been the core development of most of gaias games since at least 2004. I have done quite a lot of testing and such with them, Ive so roughly known what thier plans were for the future of gaias games.

But now with them gone it looks like gaia games could go too, Uncle Kenny has said there is no news on games like HoC now, but it "will be decided soon" which basically sounds like they are going to bail on HoC, and zOMG may get its final shut down as well.

Sadness man... I don't play either game often but I do enjoy them when I do play them >.<

That does suck for them =(
Hopefully, they'll land some pretty good jobs though, if they have that much experience. As for games on Gaia...I rarely play them? Though I didn't know that zOMG might be going away? As long as they keep fishing around. ^_^
